Pros:

Die Unterkunft liegt etwas außerhalb von Berwick direkt an der großen Überlandstraße A1. Das ist praktisch für Durchreisende, für uns als Fahrradtouristen nicht optimal. Aber es gibt Fahrradwege im Hinterland. Der Gastbeger Simon war ausgesprochen nett, das Zimmer sauber und das Frühstück sehr gut.

Lovely stay at a nice B&B
Pros:

It was nicely situated handy for Seahouses, Bewick, Holy island, and Alnwick. The staff were really friendly and helpful l. It was just a lovely stay at a really nice B&B.
We had evening meal and breakfast both were spot on

Cons:

It was a bit hard to pull into when someone is driving too close. Although its near the road we found it quiet but others might not.

A good overnight stop, would come back
Pros:

Location for Goswick Golf Club was perfect! The staff were wonderful, breakfast was excellent. The room was spotless, especially the bathroom! Thank you

Cons:

Be aware that because this property is directly on the A1, which is busy 24hrs, its is very noisy at night. We were kindly provided a fan but unfortunately due to weather and health we had to keep windows open.
